christmas, this year | iPhone photos

life has been pretty busy lately, and lots has been going on over on my other blog.  fall was filled with great clients, new and old.  sister got engaged over thanksgiving, which was very exciting and fun to be a part of.  amongst all the shoots and editing, i really tried to take in christmas this year and enjoy it in our new house and with our new pup.  below are some snap shots that i took throughout the season on my phone.  i have some "real" photos that i will share eventually, as well as pictures from our little weekend in the city (new york!)  below you will find : our five christmas cards, a proper place for our stockings (finally!), my baby pup, first time using china, dinner with our friends, P doing some last minute shopping for herself, our annual Christmas Eve snow crab supper, and lots of lounging and snoozing :)

 hope everyone had a merry christmas!

fire and wine

a few sundays ago we ended the weekend with a little fire and wine.  maybe my new favorite combo and a pretty amazing way to end a wonderful weekend.  windows and doors were open, welcoming the best month of the year - october.  friends came over and we caught up over some nice red and a smokey fire.  yes, it was as good as it sounds!  penny of course was in heaven, with lots of attention from our friends.  she sure is a ham.  ps she may now have her own instagram account (@pennymccrary) :) happy fall everyone!   

open house party

saturday night we had a little open house party.  i have been working lots this summer to get our house somewhat presentable so we could open our doors and have us a party! oh yeah, above is a little photo of our sweet little girl. i forgot that i haven't shown you what she looks like.  i feel like i have, but it was just on instagram (@kathrynmccrary). lots of hard work and trips to homegoods/target/home depot paid off and i finally feel like this is our home. i promise to share some more photos of the house soon. until then, enjoy the party pics::

thanks so much for celebrating with us friends! we had a blast preparing for the party and having everyone over.  we also learned a lot with our first party // recipes, diy decor, and party planning tips coming soon!

my birthday party

my birthday was this monday, so last weekend we decided to celebrate early with friends at atlanta's monday night brewery.  the sister and her boyfriend actually surprised me at our house before we all headed over to party at mnb.  it was so great to see them and it really made my birthday special.  she even brought me my favorite cake from athens - cecilia's red velvet.  i know, i've already nominated her for sister of the year.  she's definitely the best sister we could ever ask for.  also, how cute is that picture of tyler and her walking? melt.my.heart.  we always said we wanted a brother growing up and now she has one. it really is awesome.  thank you everyone for coming out to celebrate! it was such a sweet afternoon with friends. and yay i'm now 26! i have been accidentally lying about my age recently and saying that i was already 26.  it's nice that i can finally be honest.  it's hard being the baby of the group, but i wouldn't trade my summer birthday for any other season :)
